Regarding "altering quoted text", I would assume that if you put some quoted text in bold, to highlight the point you are responding to, that is not altering? As long as you don't change any of the text?

I like this site...I really do.....but some of these rules are harsh....not well thought out...and are gonna hurt alot of your long time members. This will deter some people from coming back here.....hey I am waiting for my tax return to make a donation here....cuz I like it so much....but Im not donating to this site under these rules. Just my thoughts....I hope you dont get points for your thoughts.

funny enough these rules have been in place for a while and being enforced. sometimes harder then others. All this does is make it consitant for all and where someone would get a 24 hour ban for one of these infractions before, now they get a warning and some points. In My Opinion, we are relaxing on some of the rules.

It just sounds like you guys made your job a whole lot harder....you guys have to read every thread and every post...then look up your Point-o-Meter...and determine whos been naughty and whos been nice....When do you guys get to just enjoy this place?

I don't have a problem with the concept, but the devil is in the details.

"Annoyance" is really nebulous, and I wonder about its enforcement.

I agree that the off-topic/wrong forum penalty seems really strict.

And I, too, am clueless regarding the "quoted text in sig" infraction: is the purpose here to prevent members from using someone else's quote to make them look stupid? If so, that's covered under personal attacks. Beyond that, I'm not sure why it's there.

question: Would you rather get some points for breaking some rules and a PM letting you know what happend? or would you rather we give you 24 hours for breaking the rules?
